Thats cool they got a snapshot of our Comcast area headend.



just kidding.
I'd like to seriously know if the guy did that and took a picture just as a joke, or if he really has had that many different satellites in the past....if he has, scary.

 They are mostly used for Mpeg-FTA. I guess no one told him you could motorize smaller dishes to cover every satellite in the arc. For those who don't know there is more than Dish Network /Direct Tv up there to watch.

I've got 1 dish that covers all the stuff that guy is trying to get with all of those dishes.

ahhh, right, I was well aware of that...the thought just didn't cross my mind (short circuit).

He should have just gotten one of these: »www.satlex.de/en/wavefrontier-page_1.html

I forget the name...but there's also those huge dishes that can pick up a very very large array of satellites.

perhaps this guy didn't want to put up with having to motorize a dish and wait for it to lock onto the satellite.

I'd consider doing the same thing (only with multi-LNB dishes)....but I'd have it out where no one could see it (definitely not on my house).

Still,

00000		 My thought is that the guy is a cheap ass and is using what ever free dish he can get.
